What year is the car? We need a lot more detail. At first glance $10,000 seems high. For that money any C4 with 100k had better be pristine. And I mean perfect.

1990 they're is a little paint scuff on right front door and the back window on the convertible in my opinion needs to be replaced the interior is in perfect condition no marks tips years of any sort no smells and carpet is very clean in my eyes I believe that the there is some body touch ups that need to be done to become pristine

I strongly advise you to take a deep breath and peruse the ads here and on Craigslist before you buy. That price is pretty high for a 90 with high miles. I have seen very nice examples for much less. In my area there is a 86 convertible (same L98 engine) with 47k. The seller has been sorting on it at $7500 for months and it is very very clean. The market is weak for these at present. A great time to get in- but take your time and make a good decision.
Good luck.
